Hi,

I have activated a TS licensing server on a Domain Controller before, but
after dcpromo the DC back to a normal server and change its name, I can no
longer connects to the licensing server.

Thanks for your help,

Anderson

If you run W2K on your Terminal Server, then this is by design.
Check the EventLog, it will probably have this EventID:

Event ID 29
Terminal Services Licensing can only be run on Domain Controllers
or Server in a Workgroup.

And that really tells you all. Solution: either make the TS
Licensing Server a DC again, or uninstall the TS Licensing Server
completely and install it on your existing DC.

The name change can also have caused the problem, if you previously
hardcoded the name of the default Licensing Server into the
registry of the Terminal Server.

Since you don't give any details of the OS on your TS Licensing
Server and Terminal Server(s), the possibilities are too many to
list here. Feel free to post angain with more details if you need
more help to solve this.

Hi Vera,

Thanks for all you help. Works fine after reinstalling TS Licensing on my
other DC that runs Win2k.

Have a great day!!
